Chapter 8: Observability with NATS in a Microservices Architecture
Observability is a characteristic of a platform that defines how well the internal states of a system can be inferred from the knowledge of its external outputs. A platform without proper observability is hard to recover and troubleshoot when things do not go as expected. In a world of distributed systems, failure is inevitable, and systems need to be designed in such a way that they can withstand failures. It is the responsibility of each microservices team to have proper observability in their implementations and share a common set of tools to monitor the applications.
Given that a microservices architecture encourages building more services, it becomes a challenge to build ...
